Suggestions for color schemes
I have 2 40k armies that need some painting love. My Eldar and upcoming wolves that are coming together faster than expected. I'm finally happy enough with their composition that it'd be a shame to continue playing them in naked gray. I'd like some suggestions on a few different things. The first is a general color scheme for my Eldar. Anyone that's seen my Tau knows I like funky colors that stick out. I'm not too concerned with painting them like any particular craftworld, though I do lean towards Yme-Locs simplicity and stark contrast.
The second suggestion would be for the wolves scheme. I'm ok with the general colors of the wolves, but I do find it a bit boring. I've looked for successor chapters, but they don't seem to have any. Any color suggestions that I could use that don't Piss of the fluff bunnies. I can hear the " counts as" argument now....
Both armies are around the same size so painting *should* take the same time.
Eldar: 47 bodies + 10 vehicles- 57 total models.
SW: 42 bodies + 13 vehicles- 55 total models.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'd like to start this project soon.

I agree stay in these colors. I've always been a big fan of anything using ochre.

Yme-Loc is a great color scheme. Dont' know what to say about Spacewolves though.

Re: Suggestions for color schemes
@Aosol: You're about 3 miles ahead of me with a ferrari. When you say stay with these colors, do you mean the entire range shown; or, start from ochre and follow the colors from there? Would ochre be my base? I'm sooooo lost....
@Chris: The space wolves dilemma was solved. I'm going with a WW2 soviet tank color scheme. It's dark green with white wash. I'll probably have a red star as my army symbol. It'll be a sweet winter theme and I can do that no problem. Remember , " In Holy Terra, Missile Launcher Shoots You!" Either way it's win. I can easily flip flop between chapters to my liking.
Any general ideas on how to paint the tanks? I've seen a few versions I like and a whole heap I don't.

Re: Suggestions for color schemes
Yeah, definitely like the neutral theme for marines. If you're playing marines you may as well take advantage of the codex flexibility.
